2018 AI Index Report Highlights Explosive Job Growth and Industry Accountability
A new report from leading institutions like Stanford and MIT reveals that AI job openings surge 35 times since 2015. The comprehensive review tracks global artificial intelligence growth alongside rising demands for industry accountability.
Top researchers from Stanford, MIT, OpenAI, and other leading institutions release the 2018 AI Index Report to track the global growth of artificial intelligence. The comprehensive study reveals that AI job openings surge an astonishing 35 times since 2015, highlighting the rapid commercialization and integration of these technologies across various sectors.
The NYU AI Now 2018 Report accompanies this release by examining the integration of AI into core social institutions against a backdrop of rising inequality and political populism. Both inside and outside the tech industry, major movements push for greater accountability and justice as powerful AI systems become more embedded in everyday life.
Other significant developments from the past year include NVIDIA's hyperrealistic face generator using a new GAN architecture and Facebook's open-sourcing of PyText for faster natural language processing development. Meanwhile, OpenAI explores how AI training scales, adding to a year filled with remarkable technological achievements and notable, sometimes highly publicized, AI failures.
